In addition, GLP1 demonstrated the potential to prevent and reverse atrial fibrosis
Compounded products with added stabilizers like glycine and B12 may have comparable stability to pharmaceutical products
Improvement in wound healing were seen in normoglycemic mice, suggesting a role independent of glucose control and in-vitro studies have shown that GLP-1RAs may directly improve wound healing, independent of blood glucose control, through the reduction of CRP and MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio, endothelial protection and angiogenesis secondary to increased AMPK, increased endothelial cell proliferation due to stimulation of CD31+ cells, P13/AKT induced keratinocyte migration, increased vascularity and dermal and epidermal regeneration due to increased phosphorylated eNOS and VEGF R2, as well as increased endothelial progenitor cells, fibroblasts, and myofibroblasts
